Today we examine the Seventh Trumpet of the Apocalypse, the Gigantic Angel (?), and the identity of the Two Witnesses according to Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas Aquinas. We also step into some Christology and look at some of the Preterist details surrounding the two witnesses and their 42 month battle with the Beast.

Here in the New Testament book of Revelation, Jerusalem is called Sodom and Gomorrah. More to the point, it’s called “Sodom and Egypt,” citing the Old Testament enemies of the Israel of God. The book of Revelation also shows Jewish Jerusalem to be the enemy of the Israel of God by identifying it as the place “where Christ was crucified.” (Rev 11:9). With no hope in sight, God soon destroyed the Jewish capital, described in the Revelation as the woman drunk with the blood of Old and New Testament saints.

Today, there are still two Jerusalems – the earthly Jerusalem, where Christ was crucified, and the heavenly Jerusalem, the Church. It was at the EARTHLY JERUSALEM that the Jews cried out, “His blood be upon us and on our children” (Mt 27:25), when demanding Pilate to crucify Christ. Jerusalem became a river of blood…and the blood keeps on flowing.
